(SETA) System Engineer

Responsibilities include: Managing system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) – Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc. Contributing to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents Assisting with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components Coordinating the resolution of action items from Configuration Control Board (CCB) meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination Participating in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations Allocating real-time process budgets and error budgets to systems and subsystem components Generating alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions Defining the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan Developing system design solution that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis Reviewing and providing input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages and the integrated master plan (IMP) Participating in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents Participating in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle Deriving from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to system effectiveness Deriving lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensuring these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable Participating in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers Developing derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Non repudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, hashing, key management, etc.)Implementing comprehensive SOA solutions Implementing operational view, technical standards view, and system and services view for architectures using applicable DoDAF standards Reviewing and/or approving system engineering documentation to ensure that processes and specifications meet system needs and are accurate, comprehensive, and complete Capturing all interface designs in a common interface control format, and storing interface data in a commonly accessible repository Assessing each risk to the program and determining the probability of occurrence and quantified consequence of failure in accordance with an approved risk management plan In conjunction with system stakeholders, planning the verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements Preparing time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions Establishing a process to formally and proactively control and manage changes to requirements, consider impacts prior to commitment to change, gain stakeholder buy-in, eliminate ambiguity, ensure traceability to source requirements, and track and settle open actions Managing and ensuring the technical integrity of the system baseline over time, continually updating it as various changes are imposed on the system during the lifecycle from development through deployment and operations & maintenance Supporting the planning and test analysis of the DoD Certification/Accreditation Process (as well as other Government Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes)
